James Franco's education is characterized by epic accomplishment and defiant unreality. His recent admission to the University of Houston -- coming one year after he was accepted to Yale -- begs the question: How can one man attend two Ph.D programs thousands of miles apart at the same time? And perhaps more theoretically: How much creative writing instruction can one person physically have?

We don't have the answers to those questions, but we do have a look back at Franco's illustrious -- and ostensibly perpetual -- academic career. Click through to see the way he was/is, from L.A. to New York to Connecticut to North Carolina to back to Connecticut. Aut disce aut discede, James.
